Customer Ratings:

I bought a set of four Italian handpainted, square shaped, dessert plates at an antique store. I wanted to hang them on my kitchen wall so I bought these.

Right out of the package they look really well made and looked like they will be perfect for my needs. The wrap-around tines seemed longer than any other plate holder I had used before so I was happy about that. The gripper area was longer than I had ever seen in the past too... very nice. The springs were tight and looked like they would stay secure a long time. I also liked the fact that the wire part was shaped in such a way that it would hang centered.

The problem came when I tried to put it on my plate. I had measured my plates at 8.75 inches but the hanger didn't fit. It didn't even come close to holding my plate safely, it kept snapping off and bending, and this is why....

My plate is quite thick, with scalloped edges, and from the back looks more like a bowl shape than a plate shape. It also has a half inch deep stand around the bottom. When I measured it, I only measured the front, straight across the plate... I SHOULD HAVE MEASURED ALL ALONG THE BACK INCLUDING A COMPENSATION FOR THE THICKNESS AND THE CONTOUR.

****So learn from my mistake, and take a really hard look at what you are trying to hang. If it is even close to the upper limit of this holder, or has any real shape besides a smooth, soft, shallow curve, get the next size up. The product description should make people aware of this, but it doesn't.

Just for fun, I put the plate holder on one of my kitchen (Corelle) plates and it worked just fine with that shape and thickness, so it is great for that size and style, just not so much for the square, thick plates I needed them for.... So, I remeasured the plates from the back this time, reordered, and I'm sure the next larger size will work just fine for me.

What can I say It's a plate hanger with plastic tubes on the end to protect the edges of the plate.

Works fine buy them if you need them.

I was not able to use this product on a 9 inch plate. It was way too tight and got all out of shape when I tried to stretch it. The springs are too short and too light duty. I found one at Aaron Brothers that worked fine.

I have a 9" display plate that I was trying to hang. When I tried to attach this hanger, it bent. It is supposed to fit 7-10 inches but cannot span a plat at the upper end of this range.

Used this for a decorative plate in my kitchen. It was relatively easy to place on, and very easy to hang. The plate has hung securely since it was put up, and no shifting of the hanger legs or damage to the plate.
